COCONUT ICE
Ingredients:
340g desiccated coconut
340g icing sugar
400g tin of condensed milk
Optional pink food colouring
Place the condensed milk into a bowl and add the icing sugar beat well, then mix in the desiccated coconut. The mixture will get firm and difficult to stir but persevere until everything is all combined.
Divide the mixture into two (add optional food colouring’s to each) and spread into an 8inch square tin giving two coloured layers and allow to set overnight
Cut into small cubes and spread on a sheet of greaseproof paper to dry slightly.

I used to love making these when I was a kid and it was one of the first things I taught my girls as it doesnt involve cooking.
ingredients:
White of 1 Small Egg
250g Icing Sugar
Peppermint Essence
Food Colouring
Whisk the egg white in a bowl until frothy and add a few drops of Peppermint Essence.
Mix in just enough Icing Sugar to make a stiff mixture.
Add a few drops of Food Colouring or leave white.
Sprinkle some Icing Sugar on the work top and knead the mixture until smooth.
Then roll/shape it into a long sausage shape about 1inch in diameter. Slice the sausage into 1/4 inch slices.
OR
Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch and use small fun/fancy cutters to cut out the sweets.
Place the sweets on greaseproof paper and leave to harden.
